We are very pleased to announce that Crowdstart Capital will be releasing a CrowdstartCoin XSC powered payment app and DApp browser at the DAHO.AM tech conference.

We want Crowdstart Coin XSC to be THE token for blockchain developers. It goes without saying that you have to store your XSC somewhere and you want to be able to DO something with that XSC right? Our upcoming app hits both of these targets.

Since we’re co-organizing the DAHO.AM deep tech conference we thought it would be really cool if we could digitalize the payment process for all the concessions this year. Usually, you go to a conference and along with your tickets you get a few paper vouchers to trade for food and drinks free of charge. That works but it’s not much fun. DAHO.AM is the home of the future so we’re going to tokenize this old-school process!

This year instead of getting paper vouchers we’ll issue XSC to the developers and techies attending the conference. After downloading the iOS or Android app from the respective app store, DAHO.AM attendees will be able to enter their ticket number and automatically get XSC credited to their account.

After that, you just walk over to buy Bratwürstl, scan a QR code, approve the transaction with your fingerprint and chow down! For the conference, we’ll be deploying a private permissioned network to handle all the conference payments without the need to pay for gas costs. Afterward whatever XSC you haven’t spent will be credited to your mainnet account.

The CSC app will also include a built-in DApp browser! This will enable DAHO.AM attendees to use our new CROWDVOTEDApp to vote for the most innovative projects at the conference on the ethereum blockchain using the very same app. Our smart contract will tally the votes and automatically award XSC to the winners at the end of the conference.

Part of why we’re so excited about the DAHO.AM conference is that it presents an opportunity to get really hands-on with blockchain technology and really see what can be accomplished in the real world. We’re looking forward to seeing you there. Click here to reserve your tickets now!

Big news is coming up at Crowdstart: with CROWDVOTE we will provide a community driven opinion forming and decision making model that follows on the present centralized distribution model of CrowdstartCoins XSC.

Starting with our IOTA hackathon in Gdansk, in November 2017, we have distributed CrowdstartCoins XSC to over 2,000 developers who have added valuable code to the blockchain ecosystem. As promised, we at Crowdstart do not think that we are the best people to decide who is eligible to receive CrowdstartCoins XSC, but rather it should be the responsibility of the entire blockchain community to form opinions and make decisions that define the distribution of XSC.

CROWDVOTE to be launched at DAHOAM Tech ConferenceWe announced our plan of developing a liquid democracy model to enable that kind of a decentralized decision making process last November. Today, we are very happy to announce that we will launch the first version of CROWDVOTE at DAHOAM Tech Conference, on July, 24.

With CROWDVOTE, members of the blockchain community will be able to propose and vote for blockchain projects supporting them to receive their deserved CrowdstartCoins XSC. In the first version, there still will be some centralized elements; e.g. there will be a set of rules that define the proposal and voting mechanism. A framework of rules has to be implemented from the start – otherwise the model would create more confusion than joy about the new decision making opportunities. Our plan, however, is to go further and also decentralise these aspects. In future versions of CROWDVOTE, the community will be able to define the rules for proposing and voting for projects by themselves.
